He began his career as an opera composer, and three years later he moved to Hamburg, where he held various positions, including principal composer at the opera house and cantor of the cathedral. He spent most of his composing career in this city. Well aware of the tastes of his audience, the Kaiser composed over 100 operas for the city's opera house, which were so popular that he was hailed as a master on a par with Telemann and Handel. After his death, his works were gradually forgotten, but with the revival of old music that began in the latter half of the 20th century, they were reevaluated, and today many of his operas are performed and recorded.\n\nHis opera \"The Delightful Deception, or the Carnival of Venice\" was performed in Hamburg in 1707, and was enthusiastically received by the audience, leading to repeated performances over the next 24 years, an unusually long period for the time. The libretto was translated and adapted into German by Johann August Meister, secretary to the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels, from the French libretto of the famous opera-barre \"The Carnival of Venice\" by the French composer Campra. Set on the night of the Venetian Carnival, the plot revolves around two couples who fall in love with the wrong person, but ultimately return to confirm their love, similar to Mozart's \"Cosi fan tutte\". The play begins with an impressive Venetian-inspired overture with a touch of the Orient, and then becomes a slapstick drama involving the love affair of the Italian lovers and the love affair of the prince and princess from Germany, with elements of revenge, suspicion, jealousy, and even murder, and a complicated and complex cast of characters. The story is complicated with many characters and develops in an intricate manner.The arias assigned to each character are given beautiful melodies in keeping with the scenes, and the occasional duet and Venetian dances add a nice touch. The lyrics are in German and Italian, mixed with the dialect spoken in Hamburg at the time, and the music is extremely interesting, incorporating various elements from France, Italy, Germany, and the Orient.\n\n(1\/2)\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52171571626273,"sku":"4589538828387","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538828387.jpg?v=1766641978","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-be\/products\/4589538828387","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
